Virtual hosts on a Domino server give a http status code 302 - can it be adapted to a http status code 200 for at least one host?

Hi,

A small question about hosting and default URL:

Virtual hosts on a Domino server give a http status code 302 - can it be adapted to a http status code 200 for at least one host?

Business case:

Our company hosts multiple websites on a same Domino server;

Each of these websites can be accessed via various domain names;

Example:

First website:

www.company1name1.com

www.company1name2.com

Second website:

www.company2name1.com

www.company2name2.com

This works perfectly for years using “virtual hosts” with the field “Default URL” on the tab “Mapping” ;

Now, we try now to optimize one of our websites for Search Engine Optimization;

The recommendations for Search Engine Optimization requires, for a website with various names:

  • 1 main name for the website : renders HTTP status Code 200

  • other names : renders HTTP status code 302 (=redirection)

Can it be done with virtual hosts or do I need to use something else (virtual server, internet site, realm,… ) for the “main name” domain?

Thank you by advance for any advice…
